IRGC Presents Its New 'Suicide Drone' ....with the speed of a WWI Fighter plane. (Memri).
On October 26, 2016, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy had revealed its "first suicide drone." The IRGC-affiliated news agency stated that while the drone cannot carry missiles, it can be packed with explosives for suicide-type missions, that it is equipped with advanced cameras that can also be used at night, and that its range is 1,000 kilometers and its top velocity is 250 kilometers per hour. According to Tasnim, this is the second Iranian-made vessel that can be used for suicide missions; the first was an IRGC navy speedboat.
One of its important attributes is its ability to fly as low as half a meter above the surface of the water, or as high as 3,000 feet.
"This drone cannot carry missiles, but
with regard to the military aspect, it can carry a large quantity of
explosives and operate in a suicide capacity – meaning that it can
approach a target, flying close to the surface of the water at high
velocity, and crash into the vessel or into the land-based command
center.
"In addition to the 'Ya Mahdi' speedboats,
which are capable of suicide missions, this is the second IRGC navy's
product with suicide capabilities."
Hmmm.....World War One fighter & Bomber Speed.
